In an instant, Zhang Xudong's armored brigade roared to kill, the tank guns opened fire one after another, the shells fell into the crowd of devils, bursting out with dazzling fire, and the charging devil soldiers couldn't dodge and fell down in large pieces.

Soon, the tank crews set up the No. 4 tank and crushed the devil crowd, and more than 150 tanks of the two tank regiments formed a dense torrent of steel, and the flesh and blood of the devil looked very vulnerable in front of this powerful steel torrent.

The anti-aircraft machine guns and vehicle-mounted heavy machine guns equipped with the two armored combat vehicle battalions of another tank regiment also spat out tongues of fire, and for a while, dense bullets rained down on the devils.

The already chaotic devil attacking crowd screamed in an instant, with extremely heavy casualties, and the inevitable attack collapsed in an instant.

Countless devil soldiers were frantically crushed by hundreds of tanks and suppressed by hundreds of anti-aircraft machine guns and vehicles under the powerful firepower network composed of heavy machine guns.

In the darkness of the night, the armored brigade began its bloody slaughter like a steel beast.

A torrent of steel consisting of nearly 200 tanks and armored vehicles rushed into the crowd of thousands of devils like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.

The heavy No. 4 tank galloped vertically and horizontally, rushing back and forth, and everywhere it went, blood and flesh were splashed, and the devil soldiers were either knocked into the air or crushed into rotten flesh and mud by the tracks of the No. 4 tank.

The armored vehicles equipped with anti-aircraft machine guns and vehicle-mounted machine guns were like hedgehogs with "fire thorns", and everywhere they went, the devil soldiers fell to the ground like mustard.

It was a completely unequal battle, and once again the mechanized armored assault force showed his almost invincible combat effectiveness.

After about an hour, the regiments and battalions of the armored brigade returned triumphantly, almost all of the tanks were stained with blood on their armor and tracks, and some even had some stumps, broken arms, intestines, and internal organs hanging from some devils.

From afar, you can smell a strong fishy smell, if you are not a person who has experienced a hundred battles, you will smell this bloody smell and vomit incessantly.

However, the tank crews have seen a lot of this kind of scene, and they are basically numb.

After the armored brigade returned triumphantly, Zhang Xudong left a tank battalion to assist the third regiment to hold the railway station, and he led the main force of the armored brigade straight to the direction of the first and second regiments.

………………………… In a small col less than ten miles away from the railway station, Seishiro Itatsu, Kenji Dohihara and others moved their command vehicles forward here overnight, in order to facilitate the command of the troops to attack, and once the offensive was effective, they could quickly take the opportunity to break through.

In the joint headquarters, Seishiro Itatsune, Kenji Dohihara, and Yamaoka Atsushige were gathered in front of the map while discussing while anxiously waiting for the results of the front-line attacking forces.

Not far from them, several high-power radio stations were ticking non-stop, and four or five devil confidential personnel were busy sorting out the messages they had received one by one, and then a commissioner presented them to Itako Seishiro and others.

Taking a telegram again, Banheng Seishiro glanced at it hurriedly, and said to everyone with a sigh: "Gentlemen, judging from the current progress of our imperial army, the resistance of the Chinese Tiger Army is quite tenacious!" ”

"Ban Hengjun is right, the most surprising thing is their reaction speed, the imperial army suddenly launched an attack, it failed to work, and eventually led to a long delay in the war, once the sky is bright, the air force of the Chinese army arrives, we want to break through the hope is much slim." Kenji Dohihara said worriedly.

Before Itasun Seishiro could speak, a rush of footsteps sounded from outside, and everyone turned around, only to see a young officer stumbling in with a dirty face.

When he came to the front, the young officer first saluted Itayo Seishiro and Kenji Dohihara and others, and then reported directly to Kenji Dohihara: "Your Excellency the division commander, no, the 21st Brigade was attacked by the armored forces of the Shina Army, not only failed in the attack, but its main force of the 2nd Infantry Wing from the Wing Commander Ishiguro Sadazo Osa, the 59th Infantry Wing was also forced to terminate the attack because of heavy casualties!" ”

"What?" Kenji Dohihara was shocked when he heard this, the 21st Brigade was the absolute main force of his 14th Division, the officers and men of the whole brigade were not only well-trained and well-equipped, but also an elite division that had been tested by war for a long time, in order to be able to capture the railway station and open up the road to break through, he did not hesitate to press the entire 21st Brigade at his expense, but he did not expect such heavy losses. ”

Sensing the loss of Kenji Tu Feiyuan, Itachi Seishiro hurriedly said: "Tu Fei Jun, don't be too sad, the Tiger Ben Army is so strong, we should have been mentally prepared for such casualties!" ”

Kenji Dohihara nodded gloomily and said, "Ban Hengjun, we should think about how to deal with the armored forces of the Shina people!" Otherwise, the imperial army's breakthrough battle is likely to end in failure! ”

Itachi Seishiro said helplessly: "The most effective way to deal with the armored forces is to use aviation to bomb, but it is dark at the moment, even if it is not night, our aviation forces cannot rush to help, air supremacy has been firmly in the hands of the Tiger Army, Tokugawa Yoshitoshi, this bastard will never risk reinforcing us!" "Speaking of Tokugawa Haomin, Itako Seishiro hates it so much, but at the moment he can't protect himself, but he has nothing to do with him.

"Isn't there a way to deal with the armored forces of the Tiger Army?" The chief of staff of the 14th Division, Tadayoshi Sano, asked unwillingly.

"Yes!" Banheng Seishiro gritted his teeth and said: "For today's plan, the only way to do this is to organize death squads and use them to block or even destroy the armored combat vehicles of the Chinese people!" ”

"Death squads?" Hearing this, Kenji Tsuchihara suddenly gasped, and said, "There are nearly two hundred armored combat vehicles of the Shina people, how many death squads do it take to stop their assault?" ”

"Although this is cruel, it is the only way we have at the moment, the war is like this, Tufeijun should understand!" Itako Seishiro said expressionlessly.

"Hey, hateful, if the Imperial Army's anti-tank guns and anti-tank guns are powerful enough, we don't have to sacrifice the lives of the Imperial Army's warriors in exchange for victory." Kenji Dohihara is not without regrets.

"Tu Feijun doesn't have to think about it, when this battle is over, we must suggest to the base camp that we must speed up the development of new weapons and chariots, as well as fighters, in order to be able to compete with the Chinese Tiger Army!" Itako Seisaro swears.

At the same time, the 10th Division and the two mixed brigades of tens of thousands of troops also rushed to Xuzhou overnight, and with the addition of tens of thousands of new troops, Ban Heng Seishiro and others were more confident, and immediately organized troops to continue to launch a fierce attack on Xuzhou.

……………………………… Western Suburbs Railway Station.

On the position of the three regiments, the guard regiment that was ordered to reinforce finally arrived, and the guard regiment was originally a reserve force left in the city, but the army launched a full-scale attack, once cutting off the connection between the railway station in the western suburbs and Xuzhou City, and the guard regiment and a regiment defending the position in the southwest corner of Xuzhou City fought hard, plus the armored brigade defeated the attacking troops of the 21st Brigade of the Yue Army, resulting in a setback in the offensive of the Yue Army, and the attacking troops temporarily retreated.

The guard regiment was able to rush to the western suburbs railway station, at this time in the western suburbs railway station, both sides inside and outside the position were corpses all over the field, but the corpses were more devils, especially in front of the position of the three regiments, after the assault of the armored brigade, the devils left corpses all the way, and the blood flowed like a river, and the open space in front of the entire position was like a Shura hell, bloody and terrifying.

………………………… In the city of Xuzhou, the temporary headquarters of the 11th Group Army.

Liang Jiahan put down the phone in his hand, turned around and reported to Qiao Anbang: "General, the armored brigade has defeated the army attacking the railway station, and many enemies have been destroyed, and the guard regiment has also broken through the blockade of the army and successfully arrived at the train!" ”

"Great, with the addition of the absolute elite of the guard regiment, the devil doesn't want to capture the western suburbs railway station before dawn!" Qiao Anbang praised the festival, and a boulder in his heart also quietly fell, as long as the western suburbs railway station is not lost, the overall defense line of the Tiger Ben Army in Xuzhou will not collapse, so the devil wants to break through, which is tantamount to wishful thinking.

As long as you survive tonight, when the sky is bright, the time for the Tiger Army's counteroffensive will come.

After pondering for a while, Qiao Anbang said to Liang Jiahan: "Adjutant Liang, immediately send a telegram to Li Pinxian, urging them to speed up the march, and they must rush to Xuzhou City before dawn, and also send an urgent telegram to the transport team, telling them that they must send the salaries and weapons and equipment required by the 31st Army and the 48th Army as soon as possible before dawn." ”

"Yes!" Liang Jiahan happily straightened his chest and answered, and then turned around and walked away.

Liang Jiahan had just left on the front foot, Yali walked in with a anxious face, and when she came to the front, she didn't care about standing up and saluting and said to Qiao Anbang: "General seat, I just received an urgent telegram from the Fifth Theater Commander's Department, and the 10th Division and the two mixed brigades that confronted them quietly evacuated at night and rushed to Xuzhou. ”

"Huh?" Qiao Anbang heard that Huo Ran changed color, no wonder the offensive of the Yue army outside the city was so fierce, it turned out that more than 100,000 devils had all gathered in Xuzhou, it seemed that the Yue army wanted to make a desperate bet.

"Boss, what are we going to do?" Yali asked anxiously.

Qiao Anbang groaned slightly, and said: "Immediately send a telegram to the two generals Zhang Zizhong and Liu Ruming, asking them to lead the troops to attack the enemy in front of them, and tell them that the main force of the army is all gathered in Xuzhou, and the enemy in front of them must be only a small army, and after defeating the enemy in front of them, they will immediately take the initiative to attack the army from the rear to reduce the pressure on the Xuzhou defense line!" "Yes!" Yali snapped forward and quickly turned to leave.

After Yali left, Chi Fengcheng stepped forward and said to Qiao Anbang: "General Qiao, the two old devils Ban Hengzheng and Tu Feiyuan are really cunning, knowing that our air force and artillery advantages cannot be brought into play at night, so they concentrate all their strength to break through!" ”

"Yes, at night, our artillery has basically been blinded, and the battle between the two sides has turned into a desperate fight between infantry and infantry!" Qiao Anbang nodded worriedly.

Immediately, he said with an awe-inspiring expression: "But this is both a test and an opportunity for our army!" A chance to prove yourself! I want to use the corpses of these 100,000 soldiers to declare to the world that the Chinese are not the sick men of East Asia, and the Chinese [***] team is not a group of rabble, or that sentence, those who dare to offend my Chinese will be annihilated! ”
